She secretly lamented in her heart:

"Wood, oh Wood, what’s going on with you."

"Why don’t you know how to be more conservative? Couldn’t you just show a little bit of combat power, enough to win?"

"That way, this young lady would earn a fortune, and you wouldn’t be targeted by the smart system."

"Now it’s good; the Pinnacle Battle, being so petty and unable to lose, clearly doesn’t want to pay 500 million, and just wants to crush you before the 50th floor..."

What to do?

Ling Qianxue only thought for a moment, then pushed all her chips to the left.

"All in!"

All ninety thousand-plus energy stones were bet.

Seven times the odds, the difference isn’t huge.

That guy Wood, how could he not have held back anything?

Anyway, in Ling Qianxue’s impression, Qin Mu always had some trump cards. It’s only the first battle; she hoped he had held back.

One match!

Just one match!

As long as he wins this one match, with a small million energy stones, this return on investment would be enough for her to brag about, and enough to enter the investment world of Qingxuan Realm, right?

Please, just this one match, you must win!

The 50th floor, 500 million, Ling Qianxue no longer thought about it.

The Universe is as dark as crows; the Pinnacle Battle will not lose 500 million. Just thinking about it, she knew it was impossible... In Qingxuan City, Crepe, who was paying special attention to Qin Mu, naturally also saw it.

"Next match against Nyx?"

"Universe seeded player, ranked 98!"

"And the odds..."

"It’s actually as low as 7 times!?"

"Hehe, I really didn’t misjudge Qin Mu; this young man... is too strong!"

Stream! Stream immediately!

Dou Video, as a new type of live streaming video company that has risen strongly in this era, can be said to be at the forefront of the Metaverse boom.

And Crepe, although she is a Star Realm Level Cultivator, her comprehension of Law has not improved for tens of thousands of years. It can be said that becoming a god is almost hopeless.

No one wants to die.

Especially after you have lived for millions of years and witnessed the prosperity of life, no one wants to die even more.

To become a god, Crepe could sacrifice everything.

And Dou Video was her all-in opportunity after repeated research.

But.

She was a rogue Cultivator, only affiliated with the Laya Alliance. She was free, but she also lost the support of a faction.

No background.

Compared to other Star Realm Experts, her first-tier standard also had no advantage.

Analysis, commentary, teaching, no one watched.

Without an advantage, she couldn’t attract traffic; without traffic, she couldn’t sell courses on Dou Video to make money.

No money.

Even less able to become a god!

Therefore, she was very clear that her only advantage might be to give up some of the dignity of an Expert for the hope of survival... The cost was heavy, but the returns were also generous.

A Star Realm Expert, creating a cute and sweet persona, coupled with professional analysis and a certain level of strength, this was her opportunity to stand out among countless competitors.

Within a few years after changing her persona, her fan accumulation speed was thousands of times faster than before.

And the first time Qin Mu appeared, she saw an opportunity. After confirming that she couldn’t analyze it quickly, she immediately spent a huge amount of money to enable battlefield replay and analyze it frame by frame.

Now it seems, she bet right!

Her reward.

Was gaining 30 billion followers overnight!

Exaggerated!

Very exaggerated!

With her current number of followers, let alone selling courses to profit, even a casual advertisement would be worth at least several thousand energy stones.

Huge profit!

Now, Qin Mu’s second match is against a former champion, a Universe seeded player, a super Genius ranked among the top one hundred.

The traffic for this battle will definitely be so exaggerated that she herself will be scared.

"As long as this match doesn’t collapse, my follower count will exceed 100 billion. By then, I’ll have a double harvest of wealth and resources, and my chances of becoming a god will greatly increase!"

Calm down!

Be calm!!!

"Whew~!!"

Crepe took a deep breath, forcing down her inner excitement.

Facing the mirror, she tidied up her entire look.

At the same time, she clicked on the video signal, sending out a live broadcast notification to all her followers.

"Something big has happened~ brothers!"

"After a day of rest, Qin Mu was directly fast-tracked to the 30th floor. His next battle will be against the Universe seeded player, defending champion Nyx!!!"

...The Cultivators who had just squeezed into the live broadcast room were instantly stunned.

"Damn it!"

"Opening shock~?"

"Didn’t Qin Mu say he was expected to break through the 50th floor? Why did he suddenly run into the defending champion?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Speechless, this should be the most unacceptable joke in Qingxuan Realm..."

Throughout the day, countless Cultivators watched Crepe’s video analysis.

The Cultivators of Qingxuan Realm, who had originally given up on themselves, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness... But before they could even be happy for a day.

What greeted them was despair!

"Holy crap~~"

"Defending champion, these words are too much pressure, aren’t they?"

"If you ask me, this Nyx might be even more terrifying than Lan Chu..."

"Hmm~ that’s not necessarily true."

"Lan Chu is a world origin Level Genius, it’s different. Not only is she a Star Realm Expert, but I’ve heard that many supreme existences are extremely optimistic about Lan Chu."

"You can tell by the ranking."

"Lan Chu is also a defending champion, but she’s ranked first among the seeded players! Nyx is also a defending champion, but his rank is only 98..."

"There’s still a gap."

"Don’t consider any gaps. For Qingxuan Realm, for Qin Mu, as long as it’s a defending champion, it’s a damn instant kill!"

...The Streamer’s bullet comments suddenly became quiet.

"Instant kill!"

"The defending champion is playing, this is truly an instant kill!"

"The Starry Sky Pinnacle Battle is truly extraordinary; they can even gather more than a dozen defending champions to compete at the same time, damn!"

"It’s good to watch, but can you target us?"

"Our Qingxuan Realm hasn’t offended you, has it?"

..."Damn it! There’s a trick!"

"I suspect there’s a hidden agenda in DFZ. Why does Qin Mu have to face a defending champion in only his second match? This is unreasonable~!"

A series of contemptuous emojis scrolled across the live stream.

"You don’t even dare to directly name the opponent, and you’re talking about a trick?"

"Rest up; even if they want to target you, you can only stare helplessly~!"

Crepe was in full swing at this moment, her Star Realm Level brain speed operating at full capacity.

Within a second, she could read millions of bullet comments.

At this moment, Crepe suddenly cried out:

"No!"

"This is not a crushing victory!"

"It’s not a crushing victory?"

The bullet comments were full of questions.

"Streamer, please don’t tease me."

"Nyx is the reigning champion, you know? He defeated countless Geniuses in the Universe in the Pinnacle Battle 200,000 world origin ago."

"What about Qin Mu?"

"He’s only Galaxy Fifth Tier, what can he compare with?"

"Don’t talk to me about the Four-System Domain, that won’t work~"

"Qin Mu doesn’t even have a Law, while Nyx is practically kicking Space around like a ball. What’s there to compare~"

"Sigh, I’ve seen it."

"The opening battle just ended. No need for crucial battles, life-and-death battles, or honor battles. Just take the spaceship from the Spaceport and fight again next year..."

"The opponent is too strong, losing is not shameful. I approve, Qin Mu doesn’t need to swim back from the Star Sea, just take a boat."

Hmm.

"Yes, yes, fight again next year, maybe there’s still a chance."

"Speaking of which, Qin Mu might be among the earliest group of contestants preparing for the next Pinnacle Battle ten thousand years from now."

...Crepe observed the bullet comments while confidently analyzing.

"Everyone, don’t be discouraged. The Streamer’s words naturally have logical support."

"Please look."

Crepe displayed a comparison chart of Qin Mu’s and Nyx’s combat power.

Qin Mu: Galaxy Fifth Tier, Four-System Domain Perfection, extremely high combat experience (estimated, possibly higher).

Nyx: Star River Peak, Three-System Domain Perfection, Water Law 80 layers (external rumors), Space Law 20 layers (external rumors), Fusion Law (possibly comprehended, but theoretically not exceeding 20 layers), extremely high combat experience.

"This is a pure strength comparison, without considering divine weapons, treasures, or other enhancements."

"Just looking at this, the outcome is already decided."

"However, the odds given by the Pinnacle Battle are clearly not based on this chart. Leaving aside Qin Mu’s mere 7x odds, even Nyx’s high odds are almost equivalent to giving money to all Cultivators."

"1.4 times!"

"That’s not a small amount!"

"This Pinnacle Battle has such high attention. Many Gods will watch and bet. Those big shots casually play a round, and it’s probably tens of millions of energy stone starting. For the entire Human Race in the Universe, what level of betting scale would that be?"

"A stable 1.4x odds, even for the Starry Sky Arena with boundless assets, if they really had to pay out, it would probably hurt, wouldn’t it?"

...Upon hearing this, most Cultivators noticed the change in the odds for this battle.

"What the f*ck?"

"Nyx 1.4x, giving away money?"

"Heh~?"

"Still giving away money? Last time when Qin Mu fought Lin Ran, a gambling addict said the same thing."
